Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Mini sweet peppers
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the mini sweet peppers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each pepper in half lengthwise, leaving the stem intact for a decorative touch. Remove and discard the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each pepper half with the cheese mixture, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.
Place the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the peppers to enhance roasting.
Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese filling is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the peppers cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish, and enjoy!
